Entries reflect breadth of work being undertaken in the WA public sector

The Department of Water's Mowanjum Water For Food project and the City of Armadale's Champion Centre have been named among 19 finalists in the Premier's 2016 Excellence in Public Sector Management Awards.

Premier Colin Barnett said there had been a very high standard of nominations.

"There were 37 nominees which together demonstrated just how innovative our public sector agencies are," Mr Barnett said.

The categories are developing the economy; improving Aboriginal outcomes; improving government and reducing red tape; managing the environment; revitalising the regions; strengthening families and communities; and Western Australia in Asia.
